Residential Inverters
A battery inverter is a pivotal component in a solar panel system, designed to convert the direct current (DC) electricity stored in solar batteries into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the standard form used in homes.
When solar panels produce energy, it’s often more than a household can consume immediately. This excess energy is stored in batteries as DC power.
However, most household appliances run on AC power. That’s where the battery inverter comes in, transforming the stored DC power into usable AC power.
For homeowners with solar panels, having a battery inverter ensures that the energy harvested from the sun can be efficiently utilised at any time, day or night, maximising the benefits of their solar investment.

FAQ – Which Inverter is Right For Your Home?
A solar inverter converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by your solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity usable in your home.
There are three main types: string inverters, microinverters, and power optimisers. Each has its advantages, depending on your system and budget.
Consider factors like your solar panel capacity, roof orientation, shading, and budget. Consulting with a professional installer can help you make an informed choice.
Single-phase inverters are suitable for smaller residential systems, while three-phase inverters are better for larger homes with higher electricity demand.
In some cases, it’s possible to upgrade your inverter to a newer and more efficient model. Consult with us to assess your options.
Yes, most of our inverters come with warranties ranging from 5 to 25 years. These warranties typically cover manufacturing defects and inverter performance.
Most of our inverters come with built-in monitoring systems, or you can use third-party monitoring solutions to track your system’s performance, including energy production and any potential issues.
Inverters generally require minimal maintenance. Periodic inspections and cleaning may be needed, and it’s essential to keep the inverter’s cooling system free from obstructions.
Consider adding a backup power solution, such as a battery storage system, to ensure continuous electricity supply during outages. If you want to explore this further, contact Platinum Solar designs today and we will be happy to discuss the right steps for you.
